If the vehicle is stock with the same type tires as delivered and inflated properly then you can & should expect (depending upon engine condition) mileage within the range that was printed on the MSRP Label
now bigger M&S tires knock off 25 to 30%
the bigger, the wider, the heavier the more
fuel it takes to move them
low air press knock off at least 10% or more
then there is the hwy speed issue faster you
go the more fuel you use
a lot of variables to consider but the msrp sticker is a good guide to start with
probably in the owners manual also
